Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Aussies yall have a petition too!
Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

The government wants to save a copy of every nude you send to your husband.

They went from banning porn to full blown authoritarian overwatching over everything.

Just like we said they would :)

“After all, the initiative outright says that the danger of pornography is that it acts as a vector for the ‘transgender ideology.’”

If anyone needed evidence that their end goal is the erasure of queer visibility, and possibly even our existence itself, here it is. This is an existential threat.

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.
Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

The fact that right now I can take my Visa card and buy something from Barely Legal Boobies Dot Com or whatever, but I can't take that same Visa card and buy an erotic visual novel on itch because Visa themselves told the platform to censor adult content is just outrageous, and they need to be told.

We need to fight for Adult content before its too late,

Even if you don't believe in Furries or any of the fetishes banned through censorship, they won't stop until media entirely aren't allowed to show Anything these groups don't agree with.

The fact that MS is trying to establish excuses should tell you all you need to know; that they understand their actions are unconscionable, and very likely illegal in many countries, and they want to try and establish the narrative since they can't deny their complicity.
Just to remind people as Microsoft tries to establish its own narrative and games news picks up on it: The AP, Guardian, Dropsite, and others found thru leaks Microsoft tech and consulting has been used during the siege on Gaza for mass surveillance. Some uses are unknown due to air gapped devices.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.
Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.

The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.
